Howard’s reaction to David’s juggling act was, “I love when people come onto the stage and say they’re going to do something really dangerous. But you actually came out here and risked MY life. It’s an interesting twist!” After voting “yes” for David, Howard also said, “I can’t wait to see what your young mind comes up with next!

Together you’re 20!” Heidi Klum favored both of them and said, “I’m still trying to decide who’s cooler, you or you?” Howard immediately supported the act with, “I think you might just be the next big thing.
